Chapter 970 Intelligent Forerunner

Seeing the mechanical octopus move, Lin Dong's brain buzzed, as if he had been hit hard!
Although he has been guessing, interrogating, and seducing, Lin Dong is actually not quite sure whether the mechanical octopus he created really has artificial intelligence consciousness.

His mind was originally the feeling of doing his best and obeying the destiny.

However, when the speculation became a fact, Lin Dong still felt that it was incredible!

This is an era when robots are still in their infancy!It is said to be artificial intelligence, but many of the robots that are actually put on the market for the public to see are even just remote-controlled machines-not even intelligence!

Anyone who knows a little bit of programming knows that through a piece of code, a program can get the corresponding result—for example, the simplest, 1+1=2.
In the same way, it is a little more complicated. Through a program, as long as it is verified that the program is correct and logical, and the corresponding power, transmission and other functions are complete, an assembled machine can be made—let’s call it For the machine, complete a relatively complex action - the principle is the same.

At this time, the machine is just a dead thing, it will only complete actions and produce functions according to the established procedures.Therefore, at this time, it cannot be called a robot.

If it is more complicated, a robot—or other appearance, can respond to some relatively simple questions or actions, and perform some answers, evasion or selective content, then this is already a bit of a robot—after all, At this time, there is already a rudimentary form of intelligence.

Of course, to a considerable extent, this is still an extension of the dead things in the early days, only a quantitative change—the program has become more complicated, and it has not been completely reborn to achieve a qualitative change.

However, this is already quite complicated-it is quite complicated and intelligent to be able to play Go with the master, and to be able to choose one's own moves through the master's moves to achieve the goal of victory.

Therefore, at this time, it is also possible to call it a robot.

But this is not artificial intelligence in the true sense - this kind of robot, still only the product of program control, does not produce its own kind of derivative consciousness.

In fact, many scientists and technicians have doubts about whether robots can eventually produce artificial intelligence.

People like Master Hawking are firmly opposed to the study of artificial intelligence. Of course, he is also firmly opposed to contacting aliens. A planet inhabited by intelligent life, what will happen?
Like Avatar, kill and erase the natives of the planet, leaving only the planet for themselves?

Is there such a possibility?
90.00% yes.

Just look at how the whites who came to America treat the Indians—although those whites are all criminals, gangsters, and homeless, in their eyes, the Indians are not even human beings, even the United States" The "great" first president Washington and Lincoln, who abolished black slavery, did not treat Indians as human beings—err, I forgot, Lincoln did not actually completely abolish black slavery.

Of course, some people will say that if the most advanced interplanetary travel is the yellow race, such a bad thing may not happen-of course, throughout the thousands of years of history, the yellow race, mainly referring to the Chinese people, has also had The history of expansion, but although there was blood in the process of expansion, it was not as cruel as whites were to Indians and blacks.White people claim to be noble, but in fact, when Chinese people began to use ritual vessels to worship the sky, they were still monkeys on trees... No one is more noble than the other.

However, since it is aggression, it is unlikely to be as gentle as ET - people on earth will not be polite to low-level intelligent life forms that are behind them. It is unlikely to negotiate with the Earth on the same level.

Therefore, whether artificial intelligence is developing or not, many people yearn for it, and many people fear it.

In fact, even if many people are afraid and try their best to stop it, just like the taboo witchcraft in medieval Europe, there will still be many people who study it in private. In their words, it is to take back the power that belongs to human beings from God. .

And no one knew that what Lin Dong was doing at this moment was exactly what many of them expected—or something they hated.

No one knows that in China, someone has already developed artificial intelligence—a mechanical octopus—it can’t be called a robot yet, but it does have its own consciousness, even though that consciousness is like a multicellular organism looking for food. Simple, but that is also the consciousness that arises naturally - this is already a very big qualitative change. If Darwin's so-called evolution of species is true, then this is completely comparable to the historical significance of the first ape picking up a tool. Wait!

Standing outside the glass wall, Lin Dong watched quietly as the mechanical octopus began to decompose and refine the raw materials in an orderly manner, and then began to classify the raw materials.

The electronic eyes of the mechanical octopus kept scanning the raw materials, apparently analyzing the properties and uses of the raw materials-these things were all in the chip, nothing special, but the classification of the raw materials later was obviously beyond what it knew. The scope of what should be done - Lin Dong's original program was to make it cooperate with other octopuses to manufacture aerospace aircraft. Now the other octopuses have not moved, and this octopus obviously has no intention of stopping with other octopuses, nor is it in the Wait—Lin Dong saw it. According to the division of labor, this should be specialized in raw material processing, but now...

It starts processing raw materials and making parts!

In principle, each mechanical octopus has an independent [-]D printing manufacturing function, so that there are no air bubbles in the middle of the manufactured parts, the texture is uniform, the force is good, and it is not easy to cause problems.

After the octopus processed and refined the raw materials, it began to print the parts. Lin Dong saw the parts and knew that the parts could be used as motor parts.

Could it be that the consciousness it produces can only be created?

Lin Dong thought suspiciously, if it's just like this, then it's a bit too simple, right?
But Lin Dong immediately smiled, with self-awareness, what more could he want?When a child is just born, he only knows how to eat, and he can't even walk!

What kind of functions do you want, such as "communication", you can teach yourself!
It is now basically certain that this mechanical octopus has really developed self-awareness-at least this is no longer within the scope of the program, and it seems to know that other octopuses cannot help it at this time, and it is not a mechanical octopus to complete work independently. The procedural requirements have become its norm at this time!

But how to teach it?
